An attempt has been made to recover acetic acid from aqueous solutions using supported liquid membrane (SLM) technique. A flat sheet polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) supported membrane impregnated with vegetable oils was tested for transport of acetic acid. The permeation of acetic acid was studied by varying the experimental conditions namely strength of stripping phase, stirring speed and selec...

Objective(s) The present study was undertaken to investigate the nociception activity of promethazine, a tranquillizer devoid of hypnotic activity in mice. Materials and Methods Antinociception was evaluated, using the acetic acid-induced writhing, tail flick, hot plate and formalin pain tests. Results Promethazine (4 and 6 mg/kg) and acetylsalicylic acid (100 mg/kg) produced a significant...

BACKGROUND Cervical cancer prevention is performed by taking Pap smears. The correct execution of the smear is crucial as an inadequate smear might result in underdiagnosis. The second means of cervical cancer prevention is visual inspection of the cervix uteri with acetic acid, while often both methods are combined. We investigated whether the application of acetic acid compromises the Pap sme...

The present study focuses on the development of a micropropagation protocol for true to type plants Anubias heterophylla, valuable ornamental aquatic plant. Natural propagation species is limited due production small number with long cultivation period, disease and requirement large space propagation. Surface-disinfected shoot tip explants were cultured MS medium containing 0.1 % (w/v) activate...

The micropropagation of Stevia rebaudiana using stem node segment explants obtained from 2 years-old shrubs were achieved. Cultures were established on Murashige and Skoog (MS) as the medium supplemented with different concentrations of 6-benzylaminopurine (BA) at concentration, 0.0, 0.1 and 0.5 mg/l individually or in combination with Kinetin (Kin) at concentration, 0.0, 0.1 and 0.5 mg/l. The ...

Somatic embryos and rooted plantlets have been regenerated from light-initiated embryogenic callus derived from mature embryos of Picea abies stored seeds. Under a 16 hour photoperiod, mature zygotic embryos were cultured on a modified half-strength Murashige-Skoog medium without NH4NO3 and supplemented with 5 mM glutamine, 4.5 pM N6-benzyladenine (BA) and 10.7 PM naphthalene-acetic acid (NAA) ...

Currently, there is no use for melon plant biomass in agriculture and animal feeding. Using this as silage provides a more sustainable production system. Thus, the objective of study was to evaluate produced with different mixtures ground corn. The experimental design completely randomized factorial scheme (5 × 2) five replications. treatments consisted between (branch + leaf) fruit (melon scra...

Light and auxin control many aspects of plant growth and development in an overlapping manner. We report here functional characterization of two closely related ABC (ATP-binding cassette) transporter genes, AtMDR1 and AtPGP1, in light and auxin responses. We showed that loss-of-function atmdr1 and atpgp1 mutants display hypersensitivity to far-red, red, and blue-light inhibition of hypocotyl el...

Acetobacter spp. are used for industrial vinegar production because of their high ability to oxidize ethanol to acetic acid and high resistance to acetic acid. Two-dimensional gel electrophoretic analysis of a soluble fraction of Acetobacter aceti revealed the presence of several proteins whose production was enhanced, to various extents, in response to acetic acid in the medium. A protein with...
